A wintry look at Ledges’ famous stone bridge. I might just make this entire week about my walk around Ledges. But I might not.

There was a bump in participation this week. Maybe we’ll get another bump next week.

Oooh. This week came dangerously close to the first strike against this project, but then Kim came in with a photo Monday morning. Maybe this was a theme that didn’t ring many bells or maybe it was all the “bad” weather last week. Regardless. Solid work Kim!
